CET-3 reading comprehension questions and answers in pets.

Read a magazine article in which five people talk about the future of reading.

For question 6 1-65, please match each person's name (6 1-65) with the statement (A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.

Paul:

I think books will be more affordable. They are quite expensive. Publishers are so stupid because they are concerned about "we won't sell so many hardcover books for $26." But you will be selling in an infinite number of electronic ways, so what do you have to complain about? I think this is a good opportunity. My e-reader is great, because I travel and I don't want to carry a billion things with me.

David:

I don't have an e-reader, and I have never read a page on an e-reader. I try my best to avoid more screen time. Don't belittle the value of a physical book. When someone invests in a book, it's something you want to keep. You must give readers a choice, either choose the reading experience of paper books or choose the boring experience of e-readers.

James:

New immigrants don't shoot old residents when they come in. A technology tends to supplement rather than replace. It doesn't matter how you read, what matters is: can you read? Can you read a book-the continuous thinking of one person when talking to another?

Search technology is embedded in e-books, which allows people to browse something instead of following a complete idea.

Alex:

In the past few years, we think there will be fewer and fewer bookstores. We have the best business model in the world. Books are still the main commodities sold in our shop, but they are getting less and less. About 50% of physical books are sold in non-bookstores, such as pharmacies and club stores. Some people in this industry have their own goals, but physical books won't work.

William:

The e-reader removed the paper medium and gave me the book I wanted: words. My e-reader allows me to read more than before. When I travel, I can take five books with me without cutting down a tree or using any extra jet fuel. Books made of paper can be beautiful, but they are never as beautiful as the words in the best books.

Now match each person's name (6 1 to 65) with the corresponding statement.

The following passage is about five people's different views on the future reading style.

Paul:

I think the price of books is too expensive, so it should be cheaper. Publishers pay stupid attention? We don't sell hardcover books for $26? But they sell more e-books. What's to complain about? I think this is a good opportunity. My e-reader is great because I don't want to take a lot of things with me when I travel.

David:

I don't have an e-reader and I haven't read books on it. I try to avoid using electronic screens. It's not to belittle the value of paper books. When a person buys paper books, he wants to collect them. Readers should choose whether to read colorful paper books or lifeless e-books

James:

Just as new immigrants don't shoot local residents, the invention of new technology is a supplement rather than a substitute. The way you read is far less important than the following: Can you read? The book you read. Is the book an expression of the author's thoughts to the readers? The search technology of e-books enables people to read more deeply instead of blindly following certain concepts.

Alex:

In recent years, we always thought that there would be fewer and fewer bookstores. We have the best sales model in the world. Books are still the main products sold in stores, but their sales are getting less and less. About 50% of paper books are sold in discount activities of non-bookstores (such as pharmacies and clubs). People in this industry have their own El timetable, but there is no way out for paper books.

William:

E-readers don't have intermediaries. They give me the words I want to read from books. My e-reader allows me to read more. I can take five books with me when I travel, so I don't have to cut down one more tree or increase the fuel consumption of the plane. Paper books are beautiful, but they are not more beautiful than the words in them.

6 1. Explain the theme. Paul thinks this is a good opportunity for publishers to sell e-books and it will bring them profits. Will e-reading bring more advantages than disadvantages to publishers? Match, so choose e.

62. Analyze the theme. David thinks people should choose the way they want to read. He prefers paper books, which have the same meaning as item A, so he chooses A. ..

63. D. Analysis of the subject matter. James believes that the role of e-books is to supplement reading methods, not to replace paper books. What matters is not how to read, but how to read. What's the difference between D and D? What matters is not how to read, but how to read. Same meaning, choose D.

64. C. purpose of analysis theme. Alex believes that although paper books are the main products sold in stores, the sales volume is declining year by year. Unlike item C, is the market for paper books shrinking? The meaning is the same, so choose C.

65.b analysis of the subject matter. William believes that e-books will not consume resources and increase aircraft fuel consumption, which is different from the eight items? E-books are environmentally friendly? The meaning is the same, so choose B.
